Mmm… What to do?
My Morale is fine Inti’, thank you for your concern. I would be surprised if any words could upset me, so do not worry. If what I write insults you, please feel that you can ignore me without it causing me harm.
For all my sins, I have no wish to upset you, but I do disagree with you on some fundamental points.
There are a lot of supposed theories going around (the internet) now, but they are usually problematic and contradictory. The RE model has been extensively built over the years, and in my lifetime has not once given me cause to doubt it. I am not a passive believer, I study the sky in daylight as well as night and it is a source of wonder to me.
I am some years older than you imagine, there are 6 or so meteor showers a year that if the clouds do not obscure, are worth going out to see. Believe me, if meteors were falling stars then the amount I have seen in those years would have swept the skies clear, yet the constellations I learnt as a child remain intact.
You have your “Scales” and that is good we all have a method of sorting what is good and bad in our lives.
My scales are more critical as far as proof for science is concerned, 50% would not be good enough, but in personal communication on a forum basis I would set it at about 5%, If I encounter someone who does not agree with me, that does not make them my enemy, there is too much of that in the world.
Respect is a mutual contract that must be earned and not demanded, I hope this translates as it was written.
If you do feel the need to re- ignore me, please assign me a space of my own, maybe as “virtuous Pagan” as I enjoy solitude away from the unwashed.
